Henry Labouchere, in an interview
in the Pail Mall Gazette, declares his
opinion that the Gladstonian policy is
to force another general election as
soon as possible. Gladstone and Par
nell will carry the country the next
time, in his Judgment, ifthe appeal to
the voters is taken on home rule pure
and simple, and it is made clear that
there is no intention to use English
cash or credit to buy out the Irish
landlords.

Edward Blake, the Canadian Llper.
al leader, who will probably beat Sir
John A. Mcdonald very badly at the
polls, is q man of massive face and
burly figure. He is considered the
best speaker in Canada, and if Lord
Dufferin be considered an authority,
perfect orator. His grandfather
was Member of Parliament for the
county OF Waterford, Ireland, and his
father a Church OF England clergyman.

The crowned heads of Europe are
careful to explain that all their move
ments toward war are in reality
nothing but very common matters.
Thus emperor William in calling out
1000 reserves says it is nothing but
an attempt to instruct them in the
use OF a new rifle. One of these days
when 100000 Germans are ordered
to the Rhine it will be said that they
arc just going out on little target
expedition.

Hon. George II. Pend Teton, Minister to
Germany is at home on q short visit: 3
The situstion,'' he remarked, ..when
LETT Berlin, was very much strained. The
powers Of Europe, from 8 general feeling OF
insecurity, have been making immense
preparations. There are great military
works and ornaments on every side. I
heard Won Moltke say that it was q con
dition Of affairs that must have solu-
ton" Mr.. Pendleton said that he could
not see that any one in Germany desired q
war. In fact, every effort was being made
to avoid it. The old emperor was extrem-
~ anxious to hare peace during
his time. Bismarck was not ready
for war now. He would
not be ready until the military bill had
been passed and the army recognized. In
fact, it seems to me that Bismarck would
accord heartily with any proposition for
peace with honor. The emperor and Bis
marck both wish for peace. The middle
classes ore not anxious for war, as the
burden will fall heavily ON them. There
are, however, certain classes in all coun-
tries whose conditions would bo advanced
by war. But the great mass OF people de.
sire peace. In France Gen. Bodlanger
leads. One peculiar thing would strike
Americans in Europe, that is how little
the people influence the policy OF the
rulers.

Among the best speeches at the
Juneau club at Milwaukee on Thurs
day last was that of Rev. c. Stanley
Lester, who said that during the last
presidential campaign he was asked
how he could possibly vote the demo
cratic ticket. and he replied: How
could talk on Sunday of the brother
hood OF man. and then go down on
Tuesday and vote for projections"
The Democrat is strongly opposed to
carrying partisan spirit into religion
but Mr.. Lester is eminently right in
carrying the spirit of the golden rule
into politics 1t is the practice of
many christian ministers to preach at
least one sermon during the year, upon
the subject of temperance. And an
other good days work could proiitably
be devoted To advancing the cause of
free trade, by preaching from the text
which underlies the whole doctrine Of
commercial freedom, to "do unto
others as you would they should do
unto you" Christianity teaches that
the application Of this rule should not
he confined to narrow limits or bounds,
and that it is not necessary for man
to be a resident of any particular sec
ton or country to be your brother Mr.
Lester disclaims partisanship and says
that he is an Independent in politics.
To The Democrat his independence
seems to be of the right stamp.

The Madison Democrat tries to
make it appear that the duties which
VIM. Fl. Bennett performs as Super
intendent of Public Property are not
very onerous, and claims that he does
not earn twenty-five dollars year for
the state, while he receives a salary of
two thousand. Our capital city con-
temporary does not seem to be aware
of the great labor which devolves upon
brother Bennett as engineer of the re-
publican machine in Iowa county, or it
would not begrudge him the rest
which he secures by having only nomi-
nal duties to perform at Madison.

POETRY AND SERIAL STORY.
WILLIE AND LOVE.

Madame, my neighbor. is very rich,
Her mansion is large and tine,
Datnties with her are common food
Her drink is the finest wine.
Our house Is small, our food is plain.
I'm only girl of twenty,
But I've sense enough 70 feel and say:
willie ana love are plenty"
Madame lives on her boarded gold,
She's rich wherever you put her;
Willie's a trade in his willing hands,
And works for our bread and butter:
In the summers heat and winters cold,
rweatAer be fine or rough;
But often say, as he goes away.
Willie and love are enough"
Fine visitors come TO Maisme's house
They come in every season;
They dress, and dine, and dance and ride
- And perhaps without any reason
I envy them now and then an hour,
For I'm only girl OF twenty;
But only an hour, and then l say:
Willie and love are plenty"
Would give up Willie for Gadame's gold:
My heart has sudden fear
AT the very thought; and softly say:
Forgive me the thought my dearr'
For l know the worth OF an honest love,
Though I'm only girl of twenty,
And say to myself: I'm very sure,
Willie and love are plenty"
Into all lives some sunshine comes;
Some have fashion and wealth,
Some have pleasure and ehaageable days,
Some have beauty and health.
! have husband, tender and true,
Though I'm only girl of twenty;
So look at my ring, and happily say:
Willie and love are plenty"

Result of Mr.. Matthews Rejection.

The New YORK Evening POSt.
The attempt of the Republican Sen
ators, under the lead of Mr. Ingalls,, to
eyade responsibility for their rejection
of negro as Recorder of Deeds at
Washington because he was a demo
cratic negro, utterly fails to fool the
negro In New England the most
prominent negroes-like Representa-
tive William O. Armstrong, Z. g.
Walker, the Rev. DR.. Jenifer, George
w. Lother, and James II. Wolff, of
Boston: George T. Downing, of New
port, and Archibald H. Grimke of
Hyde Park-all Republicans except
Mr. Downing and Mr.. Walker who
are Independents-remain clear in
in the conviction that Matthews was
rejected simply and solely because he
was a colored democrat. In New FORK
Mr.. Thomas Fortune, editor of The
Freeman, the leading organ of the
race, which has hitherto supported the
Republican party, declares that the
time has arrived for his race to act in
dependently in politics, rs it has been
grossly neglected by the republican
party, which it had supported almost
unanimously in the past. He asserts
that President Cleveland has done
more for the ameliOratiOn of the
race by his conservative action than
most of the previous Republican ad-
miniStrations, and he therefore advises
the colored people to support him for
re election in 1888. 1t is the same
way in the south. The almost I'M
broken tone of the whole cOlOred press
in that part of the country may be
learned from an editorial article in the
last issue of the Southern Leader, pub
lished at Jacksonville, Florida, which
makes this noteworthy deliverance:
"The republican senators have placed
themselves and party on record, and
they must stand or fall by it. Explana-
tions will not wipe out this record. The
political liberty of the race was at
stake, and not simply Matthews con
confirmation. OF course, it will not
drive the race en- masse into the demo
cratic party, but it will ALLEVIATE an i'm
portant colored element of the repub-
lican party. If Blaine and Cleveland
become the opposing candidates again,
we have no doubt of Blaine's defeat.
The political color line is broken in a
manner never dreamed of before. Let
us welcome this harbinger which
presages a healthier and more pro-
gressiye race sentiment. 1t will have
a good effect on both parties, and may
tend to the removal of the Negro as
an issue in American politics.

Spring election day is near ut hand:
and it hehooveS every good citizen to
take lively interest in public affairs,
and t. do what lac can toward securing
good local government for the ensuing
year. The very best men possible
should he elected to town and city
Offices and to elect good officers it is
necessary that good citizens should
turn out generally to the caucuses and
have a voice in nominating candidates.
Public office is not the only public trust.
Every citizen has public duty to per-
form. That duty is to use his utmost
endeavor to secure the election of such
men and the carrying out of such
measures as to him seems most likely
to promote the best interests of his
country and the community in which
he lives. Too many men are wont to
say: Il never attend political eau
Gus; do not want any office, and have
no axes to grind" But there is some
thing else to be done at political pri-
maries besides securing Office for self
and friends, and each one should do
willingly his share of the work neces-
sary to grind the public AK. Let not
the caucus be given up to those who
aspire for office. When those who at
tend the primaries from sense of
public duty outnumber those who have
private interests TO subserve, then is
good government assured. The DEM
ocrat hopes to see friendly, spirited
contest in Mineral Point on Tuesday,
April ith, which will result in the elec-
ton of good set of city officers.
